One from me, so it's not famous, but maybe it'll become so:

Money flow that anyone can see on-line easily. The entire concept must scare bankers and governments to death. ~ CornedBeefHash

Bitcoin - The honey badger of money (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233691.0)  :D

"Bitcoin is the beginning of something great: a currency without a government, something necessary and imperative. But I am not familiar with the specific product to assert whether it is the best potential setup. And we need
a long time to establish confidence. I only talk from skin-in-the-game. If I had money in bitcoin, I would have reported it. But I don't yet. I am waiting to understand it better, not with my brain, but with my experience..." - Nassim Taleb

“Right now Bitcoin feels like the Internet before the browser.”
Wences Casares, Technology Entrepreneur

this quote is great

"There is no such a list online, why don't we start creating one?"

From the same guy...

"It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy."

Satoshi Nakamoto, 2009 01 17 (http://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg10162.html)


"MAGIC INTERNET MONEY"

FreeMoney, 2012 07 24 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=94883.msg1049911#msg1049911)


"Bitcoin’s a dollar bill, with a teleporter built in."

'We can just poke in a few coordinates and poof, off it goes, with the ease of posting to some forum somewhere. That’s somewhat new.
[...] But its real value proposition is as a medium for transfer.  It really works. And keep in mind, if we’re just holding the currency for a few minutes, we don’t care about the absolute value.'  

Dan Kaminsky, Wired contributor, 2013 05 03 (http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/05/lets-cut-through-the-bitcoin-hype/)


See also the thread: Impressive bitcoin one liners for non bitcoiners (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46247.0;all) for more, mostly not so famous quotes, ie:

BTC = $c² (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46247.msg1327914#msg1327914)

During the crash:

"We can laugh at Bitcoin but real guys, in real basements, are losing real fake money right now." - David Clinch

Read carefully:


Best quote ever

"Hahahaha. ROTFL." - White House Economic Advisor Austan Goolsbee added this comment when asked to rate their confidence from 1 to 10 on the folowing question (he rated 10, strongly agree): A bitcoin’s value derives solely from the belief that others will want to use it for trade, which implies that its purchasing power is likely to fluctuate over time to a degree that will limit its usefulness.

“I’m a big fan of Bitcoin … Regulation of money supply needs to be depoliticized.” - Al Gore, former US Vice President and winner of Nobel Peace Prize

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but here's one I really like.

“Bitcoin is a remarkable cryptographic achievement and the ability to create something that is not duplicable in the digital world has enormous value”
Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google



There's now a great website that lists some of the greatest quotes about Bitcoin and P2P trading systems that can be found here:

http://bitcoinquotations.com/

Using some of these quotes for an essay I'm writing. Couldn't be easier.

I like this one from Roger - "With Bitcoin, you can send any amount of money, to anyone, anywhere in the world, instantaneously and for basically free. And you don't have to ask permission from a bank, a corporation or any government."

See my signature.

Why don't you use google?

If we remember, 15 years ago if you were doing anything on the Internet you were going to make millions. I think it could be the same with bitcoin.
